About This Item
1st Edition in jacket. "Anyone who says that economic security is a human right, has been too much babied. While he babbles, other men are risking and losing their lives to protect him. Let the fighting men stop fighting this inhuman earth for one hour, and he will learn how much security there is." Scarce First Edition in rare dust jacket, one of only 1,000 copies, of Rose Wilder Lane's masterpiece The Discovery of Freedom. Long out of print, the few copies in existence circulated for years, read and reread as an underground cult classic in the literature of freedom and capitalism. Along with Isabel Paterson's The God of the Machine and Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead, all three originally published in 1943, Lane's masterpiece solidifies her as one of the three "Mothers of Liberty." A second printing was not issued until 1971. A very good or slightly better copy, some toning to endsheets, in a price-clipped dust jacket with some edgewear. No writings or markings of any kind. A most desirable copy of an important work, rare in jacket. Book#v5b161. $1195. We specialize in Rare, Signed, and Manuscript Ayn Rand.
